WOUND CARE CENTER MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Wound Care Center Management Services: Cost-Effective Solutions for Healthcare Providers

Delivering efficient, cost-effective care while keeping your practice profitable is no small feat. Our expert wound care center management services help you improve patient outcomes and boost your bottom line. Amputation Prevention Experts (APEX) Health Network can help you decide whether wound care might be a good fit for your practice. If you decide to move forward with the wound care offering, APEX will review your project with the goal of adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), so that your center will be a true “one-stop shop” for patients seeking care for diabetic foot ulcers, and other wound and non-wound conditions that can benefit from HBOT.

By partnering with APEX, you can offer advanced wound care treatments that have traditionally been available primarily at hospital-based wound care centers.

Your Trusted Partner in Wound Care Center Management Services

APEX Health Network provides management of comprehensive wound care centers, both freestanding and hospital-based, that focuses on evidence-based protocols that promote optimal healing with efficiency and cost effective solutions. If you develop a wound care program, APEX would become your partner in ensuring compliance and success.

When a patient presents at your wound care clinic, the following is a typical process:

Initial Evaluation & Assessment: Each new wound care case begins with a detailed assessment of the wound(s) and the patient’s overall health. This evaluation helps the provider determine the most likely causes for delayed healing.
Comprehensive Lifestyle & Health History Review: It is vital when formulating a treatment plan to first delve into the nuances of the patient’s overall health, co-morbidities and history, including compliance with medication regimens and prior wound treatments. These factors can significantly affect the treatment plan and healing process, so understanding them is crucial for a successful outcome.
Targeted Treatment Plan: Based on the findings from the assessment, your team tailors a treatment plan that best supports healing. This may include:

- Surgical debridement
- Revascularization procedure
- Infection control and prevention
- Specialized wound dressings
- Lifestyle and nutritional advice to support healing
- Offloading/Pressure relief (surgical or other)

A comprehensive, personalized care plan that accelerates recovery and maximizes quality of life is vital to the success of the treatment.

Convenience and comfort – Your patients can receive wound care in a setting that is friendly, comfortable, familiar, cost effective and efficient.

Additional revenue stream from clinic visits and procedures, as well as spinoff services – providers who deliver care in the clinic will realize professional revenue from procedures, visits and spinoff services/surgeries.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – with decades of experience managing hyperbaric units, the APEX team will determine the space and oxygen requirements for your HBOT program, will secure chambers, and hire the hyperbaric technologist.
